The other side. The whole bottle has lots of funky stringy oddball lines/marks throughout bottle. Only Manufacturer mark I seen was G20. Leon.

oh wow that's a crazy looking one, the bottom is embossed or no?

Thought y'all might enjoy these really old pics that I found. I'm not sure date exactly, but this is a Graham Glass factory in Indiana (but not the one in Evansville I don't believe)

Yes, The Bottom is embossed with Detroit Michigan. I have 3 different 1915 Detroit Cokes, Bottoms all different. LEON.

Hi, Canada

Great bottle. Looks and sounds a lot like mine.

Attached ...

1. Your bottle
2. My bottle
3. Heel of LGW 19 (Not my bottle - just example of early Laurens Glass Works mark)
4. Saskatoon, Canada ad - April 1918 - Straight-side bottle*
5. Saskatoon, Canada ad - May 1918 - Hobble-skirt bottle*

*I don't know if the ads indicate the earliest switch from a straight-side bottle to a hobble-skirt, but they might?
**Same Bottler

Well I have ads from Winnipeg Aug 1918 that show the Hobble Skirt, yet on the other hand a photo from 1920 in Vancouver (Plant opening) shows a brand new truck with the SS on the side?...seems to have been a slow transition.

My bottle has the 'multiple' seams, too. Weird!

Curious about Canada ...

Transition from straight-side to hobble-skirt June 1918 Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada ???

If anyone is interested, this link is to an ice blue hobble-skirt on eBay that is marked LGW 20. I'm going to compare it with mine and see if there are any major similarities ...
